L'environnement

Question 1

what is eco-conduite?

Answer 1

Eco-responsible behavior when you have a driving license means saving money and polluting the planet less and thereby reducing the risk of having an accident.

REDUCE CARBON FOOTPRINT

Question 2

HOW to perform eco conduite

Answer 2

choose a vehicle in a good state

go electircal!

adjust ‘environmentaliness’ on highway/mountains/road

Question 3

how to choose a eco-car?

Answer 3

• adapted to your needs (where you live)
• comapre carbon emsision per KM
• fuel needs, fuel type and fuel costs

Question 4

what are the labels?

Answer 4

xx= type of car?

diesel= caburant

4,2= consommation aux 100 mk

100 g/km; rejets de CO2/km pacourour

leaves it at a score B

Question 5

caburant

Answer 5

fuel

Question 6

pros and cons of different cars + eco-ness

Answer 6

electric= least pollutant but least autonomy

hybrids= double motorization and also electric

automatic= less consumption than a manual

Question 7

what equipments lower your carbon footpring? (L’economie de caburant)

Answer 7

• Cruise control (regulateur de vitesse)
• Le limiteur de vitesse
• Stop & Start System
• GPS
• The tachometer and trip computer
• Energy recovery systems

Question 8

cruise control pro

Answer 8

• Cruise control (regulateur de vitesse); less fuel consumed on long journeys

Question 9

limiteur de vitesse pros

Answer 9

Le limiteur de vitesse: speed limiter; once the maximum speed has been reached regulates the arrival of fuel.

Question 10

Stop & Start System pro

Answer 10

allows the automatic stopping and restarting of the engine. It saves around 10% fuel in the city and reduces noise pollution.

Question 11

GPS pros in ecodriving

Answer 11

GPS, the driver chooses routes that avoid traffic jams and consume less fuel.

Question 12

tachometer & trip computer pros in ecodriving

Answer 12

keeps fuel consumption low. Some cars tell the driver when to change gears.

Question 13

Energy recovery systems pros

Answer 13

make it possible to recover the energy dissipated during braking to reinject it when starting, or even to store the recovered electrical energy.

Question 14

Entretenir son véhicule

Answer 14

car maintenace

Question 15

how to entrentenir your car well

Answer 15

a well maintenace car= less carbon consumption:

1. verifier les niveau (levels)
2. put pressures in wheel once a mont (as resistance of tires cause 20% of fuel consumpation)
3. verify leaks in engine
4. choose equipment with good tire resitance

Question 16

what are the 3 criteria by which to choose tires?

Answer 16

1. consommation du caburant
2. la securite
3. le bruit de roulement

Question 17

eco-driving: principle when accelerating & speeding

Answer 17

• try to be at highest gear and get there fast
• for Petro/eGLP car: change speed to 2500 tr/mn
• Diesel car: 2000 tr/mn

TO downshift do it at low engine speed if enough power available

Question 18

eco-driving: principle when braking/slowing

Answer 18

Use engine braking as much as possible

brake only if neccesary

relaxing acclerator entirely cuts off injection= uses less fuel=zero consumption

Question 19

eco-driving: principle when charging and accessorizing

Answer 19

If they are not useful, remove the bars or the roof box, which leads to overconsumption even when empty

Ventilate the vehicle before using the air conditioning, it is advisable to adjust it keeping a difference of 5° with the outside.

When cold, do not run the engine when stationary but drive gently for the first 2 km.

Use electrical accessories reasonably

Question 20

at 120 km/h, roof bars or a roof rack increase consumption by…

Answer 20

at 120 km/h, roof bars or a roof rack increase consumption by around 10%.

Question 21

temperature regulation at 25C?

Answer 21

For a temperature of 25°C, air conditioning set to 20°C generates around 20% more fuel consumption in town and 6% more on the motorway.

Question 22

Eco-principles when…driving on highway

Answer 22

Between smooth and relaxed driving and rough driving, the fuel consumption gap can reach 40%.

You have to maintain the safety distances to avoid sudden braking, stabilize the speed using the cruise control if you have one and anticipate.

Question 23

How much fuel do you save by driving 120 km/h as opposed to 120 km/h on the highway?

Answer 23

5 liters over 500 km.

Question 24

Eco-principles when… driving on the road

Answer 24

depassement consumes energy

when taking curve; slow speed in highest gear ratio

Question 25

Eco-principles when.. driving in mountains

Answer 25

Mountain roads are not that compatible with eco-driving however:

o When going down release the accelerator as much as possible to profit from inertia

o When going up; choose the most suitable speed

Question 26

Eco-principles when… driving in cities

Answer 26

Avoid downshifting during prolonged traffic stops (20 to 30 seconds), do not hesitate to switch off the engine.

Maintaining safety distances allows you to always stay in motion even at low speed, repeated stops and starts will lead to overconsumption.

When approaching a roundabout, a slow-motion approach makes it possible to predict and analyze insertion slots and avoid stopping.

Or when approaching a light that has been red for a long time, let the car roll to restart when it turns green.

As soon as the vehicle is launched, it is necessary to maintain a stable speed on the highest gear

Question 27

What is eco-mobillity?

Answer 27

NOT driving car; choosing a mode of transport least pollutant/energy demanding e.g.
walking, biking, rollerbading/scooters, public transmort

Question 28

what is ‘inter-modalite’

Answer 28

using multiple transport models i.e. parking on city peripheray and taking bus in

car pooling (covoiturage)

l’autopatarge/velopartage

Question 29

covoiturage

Answer 29

car pooling
